Care and Treatment of Skin Cancer
Leaders in the Treatment of Skin Cancer
The doctors of the Stanford Skin Cancer Program lead the field in the treatment of both melanoma and non-melanoma cancers. From the utilization of novel imaging modalities to innovative chemoprevention trials, program specialists are dedicated to advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention options for individuals with these rare and often complex forms of skin cancer.
- Our melanoma program has a strong multidisciplinary focus involving dermatology, medical and surgical oncology, dermatopathology, nuclear medicine, and radiation oncology. Specialists have great expertise in prevention, early detection, and management of localized and metastatic melanoma.
- Our non-melanoma skin cancer program encompasses dermatologic and Moh's micrographic surgery for the treatment of basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas as well as other non-melanoma skin cancers and an interdisciplinary approach to Merkel cell carcinoma, which is rare but increasing in incidence.
Skin cancer expertise at Stanford
Our goal is to transform scientific advances at Stanford University in the understanding and causes of skin cancer and discovery of mechanisms of disease into new approaches in diagnosis and treatment for our patients through:
- Innovative surveillance and staging techniques such as total body digital mole mapping for early detection of melanoma and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy with novel imaging modalities to improve accuracy
- Immunotherapies that are both FDA-approved and in development, including leading a novel trial of ipilimumab in conjunction with palliative radiation therapy for metastatic melanoma patients
- New radiologic tracers for detection of both early and advanced skin diseases
- Ongoing clinical
trials to test a new class of agents in basal cell carcinoma
